  • Waterproofing a Sherman hull

    What is the best way to waterproof the hull of Sherman? Probably going with all plastic running gear. Main concern is the axles from the gearbox to the drive wheels. #asking for a friend...



    TTFN,

      I know, right!? What could be cooler than a tank that actually has "Deploy diver!" among the list of "common orders issued by the commander"?

        BARV is a really cool idea!

        Maybe grind off the plastic molded outdrives and replace with a bearing supported stuffing box that could be packed with grease.. 3D printed?
